Dealing with friends who are expecting..my little rant :(

I don't know if it is just me being selfish or grumpy (probably both) but I hate it when friends call me to tell me they are expecting. I didn't call all my friends and announce I was pregnant so why do they do it to me?!
To be fair they are not aware that I dealt with infertility but they do know it took me a very long time conceive. Never the less, every time I get a new announcement I get so sad and it reminds yet again that I am not as lucky as most. It took 6 IUI and 5 rounds of IVF to get pregnant with my LO and I don't know if I'll ever be able to conceive a second child.
Infertility is so hard!!! Anyways that's my rant for today...now I am going to eat a bowl of chocolate ice cream lol

"God's Delay is not God's Denial"
I'm sure no one is trying to throw it in anyone's face and that they are just excited, but knowing that doesn't lessen the sting.
The only thought that helps me get through it is this: when all of the shots, pain, procedures and everything else finally work in my favor and I get to finally raise my own lo, I can tell them how loved they are. I can tell them that mom and dad worked, pushed, and cried for years just to see their little face. No one else I know will be able to tell their kids how much they prayed for and wanted them.
